    Let the position vectors of three vertices of a triangle be 4p→+q→−3r→,−5p→+q→+2r→4\overrightarrow{p}+\overrightarrow{q}- 3\overrightarrow{r}, - 5\overrightarrow{p}+\overrightarrow{q}+ 2\overrightarrow{r} and 2p→−q→+2r→2\overrightarrow{p}-\overrightarrow{q}+ 2\overrightarrow{r}. If the position vectors of the orthocenter and the circumcenter of the triangle are p→+q→+r→4\frac{\overrightarrow{p}+\overrightarrow{q}+\overrightarrow{r}}{4} and αp→+βq→+γr→\alpha\overrightarrow{p}+\beta\overrightarrow{q}+\gamma\overrightarrow{r} respectively, then α+2β+5γ\alpha+ 2\beta+ 5\gamma is equal to:
